In today’s competitive e-commerce environment, personalizing the customer experience is the number one priority: To drive conversion, the right message needs to be sent to the right person at the right time. How do you accomplish that? Increasingly, AI is emerging as the best way to offer a truly one-to-one experience to customers. A Gartner study notes that “by 2020, 85% of customer interactions will be managed without a human” and that by 2040, “more than 40% of all data analytics projects will relate to an aspect of customer experience.” So what does that look like?

Investing in mobile strategies has become such an important part of expanding customer interactions and improving their experience. Some organisations have been successful, but many others have failed.

The reality for most organisations is that they don’t have a complete understanding of the mobile needs and expectations of customers. As a result, users rarely use the apps that they download. Multiple industry studies show that app users spend 70-80% of their time on their top three apps. Think about what’s on the front screen on your phone – probably emails, photos, weather and your favourite social or messaging apps like Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram. It’s unlikely to be your utility company, insurer or local council.

By now, you’ve heard about the importance of both UX (user experience) and CX (customer experience) when it comes to a company’s survival. While that’s true, a lot is still unclear about which is actually more important to prioritize.

The answer? Both.

UX is reflective on the usability of a company’s website, whereas CX focuses on customer interactions and meeting overall expectations. The UX of an airline company, for example, would relate to the usability of the mobile app interface and website: how easy it is to purchase flight tickets, access flight information, download a boarding pass, etc.
